English term or phrase: roundworm
Ascaris lumbricoides, a fleshy, cylindrical roundworm, is the largest nematode to colonise the human gut.

Encontrei "lombriga" e "nematódeo", mas como já existe "nematode" na mesma frase, gostaria de outro termo, se possível. Lombriga parece um pouco informal no contexto. Talvez simplesmente verme ou parasita.
Obrigada desde já.

Nematelminto


Explanation:
Nematódeo seria uma boa tradução, mas como já existe a mesma palavra ''nematode'' em inglês, você poderá, seguramente, traduzir ˜roundworm" como NEMATELMINTO.
